Alder Catkins

I particularly liked this image because of the abstract background that the other catkins created.
It was a very windy day and getting anything in focus was a challenge. Hence the high shutter speed...

Windy spring conditions. Ahhh. Actually the background looks like chiles to me. Anyways, nice light and dof.

Wonderful bokeh making the background fabulous. Nice contrast with the catkins.
